Rise of the Empire Total War

Crackling——

Watching the firewood crackling and burning in the fire, Richard fell into deep thought.

After repelling the enemy's first attack, the Royal Army led by him cleared the battlefield, retreated a few miles and built a temporary camp on a small high ground. Although this was only a temporary camp, the degree of defense did not slacken. Under Richard's supervision, almost everyone invested in the construction of the wooden wall surrounding the camp. With the work of thousands of people, the three-meter-high and two-meter-wide wooden wall was finally built at dusk.

Richard didn't dare to relax. This is a fateful battle. If he loses, not only will Luwen City fall into the enemy's hands, but Bundak behind him may not let go of the excellent moment when the royal family's power is greatly consumed. .

Your Majesty Caesar, the knights are all set up. Following your order, they chose to rest in a dense forest.

At this moment, Condela's voice sounded, and Richard pulled his eyes back from the fire and glanced at him again, then nodded, and said in a deep voice: The Ramirez people haven't seen our army yet. Cavalry, this is a great advantage for us, if we can make good use of this, we can win more with less and get an epic victory.

But the number of enemy cavalry far exceeds ours. Even if the heavily armored soldiers can withstand a heavy cavalry charge, what about the second and third charge? If you don't know how to deal with the Ramirez cavalry, I am afraid that before our cavalry enters the field, The heavily armored sergeants have already suffered heavy losses. Condela said with some concern.

This... Richard hesitated before saying: Actually, I already have a countermeasure against the Ramirez cavalry in my heart, but this will be a tactic with a huge amount of engineering, and there are still risks to be exposed in advance. risks of.

You mean... Kondra, who was able to be promoted from the captain of the general guard in the early days to the lieutenant general, was so smart. He directly guessed what Richard was thinking, but he didn't say it directly.

Yes. Richard nodded, Let those peasants and soldiers dig a deep trench in advance on the battlefield, and fill it with sharp pointed wooden stakes, and spread a layer of straw on the trench during the battle, Cover up the existence of the trench, and when the enemy cavalry charges, they will fall into the trench.

The movement of digging the trench will definitely be discovered by the enemy. Condela shook his head, not very agreeing with Richard's idea.

But other than that, we have no other way. Richard said helplessly, Unless when Ramirez's cavalry is dispatched, we also send our own cavalry to intercept, but in this way, we have been hiding the cavalry behavior is useless.

Speaking of which,

Richard took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, It's night now, and the dark night can cover our whereabouts. Condela, there is no time to hesitate, and immediately send those peasants and soldiers to dig trenches on the flat ground in front of the camp !

Of order. Richard had said so, and Condela naturally had no reason to continue to dissuade him, so he could only agree to personally organize the peasants and soldiers who were defeated in the battle and returned to the team after victory, and led them out of the camp to carry out Operation.

...

The result of overnight rush work was obvious. Under the cover of those weeds, a hastily completed and not very deep trench was laid across the plain. Due to time constraints, the spiked stakes that Richard expected were not arranged. A trench can still achieve its purpose-when the cavalry charged at a high speed, a trench suddenly appeared under their feet, and they basically fell into it without even having time to respond.

Of course, in order to allow the crossbow militiamen deployed in front of the trenches and the light infantry to retreat in the face of cavalry attacks, the peasants and soldiers set aside passages between each trench. They also dug hundreds of small round pits behind the trench under the guidance of Condela. Don't underestimate these small round pits.

Likewise, to hide these traps, farmers and soldiers cover them with a layer of weeds that blend in with the surrounding grass, and only a close inspection reveals the difference.

Under the gray sky, the army of the Kingdom of Ravana slowly formed a defensive formation in front of the high ground where the camp was located. The formation of the Ravana people is roughly the same as yesterday, except that the left wing, which suffered heavy losses, has been replaced by Richard, and half of the spear militia led by Kondra made up for it. Behind them, the feudal knights on foot They can join the battle as hole cards at any time.

As for the replaced barons, they were all thrown to the right-wing Copperfield, allowing him to replenish his strength.

It was Richard's helplessness to add the troops of the central army to the left flank. Although the central army was supported by heavily armored sergeants, the fighting pressure was still huge. The spear militia standing behind them must be ready to respond at any time. However, now half of the soldiers have been transferred directly. It is good that the heavily armored sergeants can continue to resist, but if they can't, Richard's central army will be a fortress.

No matter what Richard thinks, the Ramirez army is also slowly entering the arena out of everyone's sight. Their number is still so large that they can't see the side at all, and the ones walking in the front are still Heavily armed heavy cavalry, although these heavy cavalry failed to tear the enemy's line of defense yesterday, this did not affect their status in the heart of King Oweko.

After the first fight, King Oweko was still full of confidence, because he already knew the weakness of the Ravana Kingdom army on the opposite side.

When the army marched to only 800 meters away from the Ravana army formation, everyone stopped, and the entire battlefield was suddenly silent, only the sound of the hunting flags when the autumn wind blew past, and the birds circling in the sky. tweet.

Warriors of the Kingdom of Ramirez!

Riding his horse and standing in front of the heavy cavalry brigade, King Oweko was dressed in full body, held up the saber symbolizing royal power, and shouted: On the opposite side of us is the army from the Kingdom of Ravana. They are equally brave and equally brave. Strong, strong enough to defeat us four years ago, and brutally took away our three counties!

However, today, four years later, we are making a comeback with a deadly sword, endless anger, and the determination to revenge!

Warriors of the Kingdom of Ramirez, today's battle is our chance to wash away our shame! As long as we defeat them, all the fallen land will be recovered by us, and the glory of the Kingdom of Ramirez will be on this land Bloom!

Kingdom of Ramirez must win!

The Kingdom of Ramirez must win!!!

Between heaven and earth, the shouts of the Ramirez people were deafening, resounding throughout the battlefield, almost making the earth tremble!
